Rage 2 Trailers

Rage 2 has two trailers so far: its colorful live-action announcement trailer and its gameplay trailer.

Rage 2 Gameplay

Like its predecessor, Rage 2 is a first-person shooter set in a dystopian open world – a “shooterverse,” according to Bethesda.

Players will have access to upgradable weapons, Nanotrite powers, and Overdrive, which lets players push firearms “beyond their mechanical limits.” Vehicles play a huge role in Rage 2’s apocalyptic wasteland too, including monster trucks and gyrocopters.

“If you see it, you can drive it,” according to Bethesda.

Rage 2 Map

We don’t know what Rage 2’s “massive” open world map looks like yet, but Bethesda has given us some hints about the “vast and varied landscape” we can expect, including “lush jungle and treacherous swamps to sun-scorched deserts” full of dangerous factions.

Rage 2 Story

Rage 2 is set on a post-apocalyptic earth where 80% of the population has been wiped out by an asteroid. You play Walker, “the last Ranger of the wasteland,” ready to fight for “justice and freedom” against a tyrannical entity known as The Authority.
